So–nobody in MD, DC, or VA reads books?
Apparently not at this time! Perhaps in the future, folks in those locales will start reading! Lol !!!
Has anybody else noticed how Awkward the events listing is to use? Arranging it by date-first, and lumping authors together under that date, makes it extraordinarily tedious to see where/when a particular author will be appearing. It would make much more sense to list each author separately with dates and locations in order! Authors could be listed alphabetically, with a link to their schedule!

Thanks for the feedback! We’re actually looking to try this format next time around, so hopefully the post will be easier for you to use.
@TheGreatNorthenTroll: I agree that the event listing is cumbersome to navigate, although I would propose sorting it by location. Personally, I run a “Find” for ‘CA’ to quickly see if any of the authors are coming to California.
